Most People here could probably have stayed with the women they were with in farang land but chose not

If given any choice, I would have lived my life with my English wife of 30 years, but she wanted the gardener, and my house, pension and children.

Most of the guys I know out here were similarly discarded by their western women.

If married, he and the kids inherit 50/50.

If not married, her parents and the kids inherit 50/50, parents get custody.

So answer depends on OP understanding marriage is a legal term and not a status derived from monks or cohabitation.

He must have been under a lot of pressure, but surely, living a cheaper lifestyle must have been an option.

 

RIP.

Yes, hard to imagine death being a choice over living within your means.

Two things that are daily myths myths on this TVF. One is that Thailand is not doing well financially and will collapse soon.

I don't know about Thailand doing well, but the Thai people are struggling. Local restaurant needs 3k/day to break even, pays the waitresses 150bt/evening. Only makes it 3 night/week.

This is typical for a business in Chiang Mai, the country is doing well, but the poor (almost everyone) are suffering.

 That's unfortunate but that's her classless fault not yours. 

So you've found a woman who loves you and who's had you children and are both happy? ...... Or you're still looking?

As for all the talk of sex on this thread,yes i like it,but having a companion you can share your life with is more important to me,yes i have shagged maybe 2 bar girls,but i don't really enjoy it,more about feelings for someone than the physical act, 

Sums up what nearly all men think and want, but sadly in reality all you can get is the sex, the feeling we want are always one sided.

YOU can learn a LOT from others if you'd open your mind 

The bargirls have certainly taught me a thing or two.

How will a digital licence stop hit and run even if plates are identified. Drivers can drive different cars, swap plates, and I am sure that within a month this app will have been hacked.

The time, speed, location and direction of your phone would be the give away.

Also, most people swerve, or change speed when they hit something.

The chances of a foreigner making money from a business owned by a Thai lady are very small.

If it was a good idea, a bank would lend her the money.

What record of previous earnings and competent business management does she have?

If that avoids reporting to immigration every time I leave the island, I am all in favor. 

Good idea, they could forget about the TM30 nonsense.

can a prenup actually save me or is it a useless piece of paper in Thailand?

It's a useless piece of paper because the house and land will be 100% in her name.

What you don't bring into Thailand, she can't get on Thai divorce.

Take her back to your home country and the game changes.

men grabbing the keyboard to write some piece of moral one-upmanship such as, "we don't ALL come here for the women"

They may not have come here for the women, but they all ended up sleeping with one (or more).

A Bt31,402 savings over 12 months.  In about 3 more months, for a total of 15 months, I will have recovered the cost of the inverter A/C.   

Most of us don't use air-con that much.

My air-con is only on a few hours a night for the hotter nights, and adds 300bht to my bill for the 6-8 months I use it.

2,400bht a year, 32% of that would be 800bht savings a year.

Those death traps. Whenever i hear someone planing to travel by tour bus i'll strongly advise them not to. Why not fly instead, it's cheap.

Bus is cheaper, usually 1/3 of the flight price.

(I've got a 20 hour bus trip tonight)

i tried all the local branches to me, they all wanted a letter, i opened one and all they needed was a letter. so that's why i posted some branches require the letter. what other proof of address does some foreigner have.

They don't write to you, they won't give you credit, why would they care about the address.

I've not informed my bank of my new addresses over the past ten years.

They always want your passport for new debit cards though.

some banks insist on an address certificate from immigration

Some branches of some banks are looking for excuses not to deal with a foreigner (But they don't like to say it to your face). If you returned with an address certificate from immigration, they would then demand a work permit.

Learn to avoid doing business with people who don't want you.

Then open your bank account with a branch of a bank that is happy to do business with you.

The husband was convinced of his wife's infidelity but despite his jealousy there was no truth in it. 

He just shot everyone, how could they know she was faithful?

This killing the woman's family is getting totally out of hand here now, I can understand someone killing their lover, but going after all her relatives seems 'excessive'.
